Detroit-based sneaker boutique Two 18 works in collaboration with Jordan Brand to deliver another joint colorway palette that details the Air Jordan 2 Low sneaker model. The low-cut design is most dominantly detailed with shades of brown as the upper has a construction that blends together both suede and leather materials.
It is then marked with contrasting hues of red and blue on each side of the shoe. As a nod to the contributing efforts that went into the model, there are details seen on the insoles and on the tags found on the inner side of both tongues, the laces, and the hangtag. It is then rounded out with an off-white midsole and icy clear outsole foundation.
